The Book of Acts Made Simple

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

One hundred and twenty frightened believers hid in an upper room in Jerusalem. Ten days later, the wind of heaven filled the house. The Book of Acts Made Simple is a plain-language, Bible-first guide to the Spirit-filled church. Across fourteen short chapters, you'll learn why Jesus told the apostles to wait before they preached, what the wind and fire of Pentecost mean for you, how a lame man walked at the Beautiful Gate, why boldness is a prayer request, how Stephen forgave his murderers, how persecution scattered the gospel into Samaria, how the hunter Saul became the apostle Paul, why the wall between Jew and Gentile came down, how prison doors opened at midnight, what the Jerusalem council settled forever (grace plus nothing), how Paul preached Christ in Athens, and why the book's last word is “unhindered.” Every chapter opens with Scripture and ends with one clear action step, because difficult information should be made simple for everyday people.

The Spirit came — and the Church was born. Filled. Sent. Multiplying.
